Effective communication is the best channel to convey your message with actual meaning. It becomes real when the receiver understands your point or word. To remove language barriers between visitors and guide providers, authorities in Saudi Arabia have hired a multilingual team in Madinah.

Team members hired for the Madinah Guideline Centre will solve queries of people in their own language.

Here, the staff speaks Arabic, English, Urdu, Indonesian, Persian, and Turkish and assists visitors to the Prophet’s Mosque, Rawdah, the International Fair and Museum of the Prophet’s Biography and Islamic Civilization, and other sites in Madinah.

Moreover, the Madinah Centre operates around the clock and provides information related to transport, and major landmarks of the holy city, including vehicles and emergency assistance for the elderly and people with disabilities.

The initiatives aim to promote tourism in the country by 2023.

Weeks ago, the Kingdom had also sent invitations to 1000 prominent Muslim personalities to perform Umrah, as part of the same initiative.

However, in a bid to provide quality accommodation to visitors under the umbrella of rules and regulations, the government had sealed a total of 330 hotels and furnished apartments in Makkah and Madinah over violating the rules in holy cities.

The Kingdom aims to attract 100 million tourists by the year 2030, as part of the ambitious diversity of the oil-reliant economy. To achieve this goal, authorities are regulating the sector and upgrading the quality of the services.
